Based in Austin, Texas, Invoke continues to successfully dodge even the most valiant attempts at genre classification. The multi-instrumental band melds traditions from across America including bluegrass, Appalachian fiddle tunes, jazz, and minimalism, weaving together truly individual music written by and for the group. Invoke’s albums Souls in the Mud and Furious Creek feature original works, plus the quartet has also performed and recorded numerous world premieres. Invoke believes in championing diverse American voices including their ongoing commissioning project American Postcards, asking composers to pick a time and place in American history and tell its story.
Invoke is a winner of the Concert Artists Guild International Competition and is represented by Concert Artists Guild.

More About the Ensemble
Described by SiriusXM Classical Producer David Srebnik as “not classical…but not not classical”, Invoke continues to successfully dodge even the most valiant attempts at genre classification. The multi-instrumental band’s other not-nots encompass traditions from across America, including bluegrass, Appalachian fiddle tunes, jazz, and minimalism. Invoke weaves all of these styles together to create truly individual music, written by and for the group. Equally at home in a collaborative setting, Invoke has performed with musicians from widely varying genres, from the Ensō Quartet, to chamber rock powerhouse San Fermin, to beatboxer/rapper/spoons virtuoso Christylez Bacon. Invoke’s two albums Souls in the Mud and Furious Creek both feature original works composed by and for the group, plus the quartet has also performed and recorded numerous world premieres. Invoke believes in championing diverse American voices, including their ongoing commissioning project American Postcards, which asks composers to pick a time and place in American history and tell its story through Invoke’s unique artistry.
